|
|
We are very happy to announce the 3.1.2 release of MrBayes. It can be characterized as a maintenance release. We have looked at all bug reports submitted to SourceForge.net according to the instructions on the mrbayes web site (http://mrbayes.net) and we have fixed all problems we have been able to replicate. |
Beerli & Ronquist to teach Computational Evolutionary Bio. in Fall 05
|
|
A wide range of biological applications, including identifying pathogens and tracing viral transmission pathways, relay on inferring the evolutionary history of the organisms involved. A course on Computational Evolutionary Biology, taught by Drs. Beerli and Ronquist, will cover the methods used for evolutionary inference, the principles they are based on, and how they are implemented. In a lab session, the students will get hands-on experience in developing computational software implementing these methods. |
MrBayes version 3.1 is released
|
|
On April 17, a new version of MrBayes was released. MrBayes, a program for the Bayesian estimation of phylogeny, is a collaboration between Fredrik Ronquist and Paul van der Mark of the School of Computational Science, John Huelsenbeck (Univ. Calif., San Diego), Bret Larget (Univ. Wisconsin, Madison), and Donald Simon (Duquesne University). Bayesian inference of phylogeny has many applications, including reconstruction of biological evolution, identification of disease agents, and comparison of languages, to name a few. The new release adds signficant new features to a popular package. The program web site received almost 9,000 hits the day after the release. |
